Frontal lobe

he proceeded to cut the brain into cubes. 2. What did the Canadian neurologist Sandra Witelson find about Einstein’s brain? Which part of the brain was unusually larger than the normal brain? Sandra Witelson discovered the Einstein’s peripheral lobe as 15 percent larger than the average brain. 3. What are gyri in the brain? The human cerebral cortex is very deeply wrinkled, and the…

neurotransmitter dopamine, the frontal lobe, the parietal lobe, the temporal lobe, and the amygdala. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter associated with reward and pleasure. It is…

left frontal lobe of the brain was the cause why patients were unable to understand, speak complex sentences and problems with speech. His famous patient was called Tan, because that was the only word he could say, but also due to anonymity. After Tan’s death, his autopsy revealed that the disability was the result of a specific brain damage in the left frontal lobe, called The Broca's area. Now these conditions of trauma are called Broca’s aphasia. The brian injury in the left, frontal lobe,…

Do we really use only 10% of our brain capacity to function in everyday life? It really depends on self opinion. Some of us may think we use more of our brain when we are working and some of us may think that when we are relaxing our brains are relaxing as well. There is no scientific theory behind how much we use of our brain. Most of us use our brains daily, to think, to react, to sense feelings, etc. You may be surprised on how much we use our brains each day. Its always active, axons are…

The mice of “The Terrible Teens” “You need to be your teems’ frontal lobes until their brains are fully wired” (paragraph J). This sentence written by Frances Jensen implies that adults should stop teens putting themselves in dangerous by being their controller of motivation. From the experiment of mice, it shows that teenagers behave wildly as mice, and it can be explained by a neurologist and a psychology. This essay is to prove that teenagers are acting passionately without considering any…

temporal lobes on each side and is involved with making memories, neurogenisis takes place here. The thalamus is a mass of cell bodies located within each cerebral hemisphere and processes and interegates sensory informations except for smell and relays sensory information to cerebral cortex. They’re like traffic cops. The hypothalamus is located right below the thalamus and is the size of a peanut. It links the brain to the endocrine system and regulates the four f’s that are…

Sackeim et al., (1982) concluded an asymmetry of activity in the frontal lobe due to positive and negative emotions. In EEG, this is reflected as an asymmetric decrease of left frontal alpha power during positive emotion and decrease of right frontal power during negative emotion (Davidson et al., 1990; Tsang et al., 2001; Schmidt & Trainor, 2001; Sammler et al., 2007). The results supported the findings of…

Alien Hand Syndrome is usually associated with the frontal, parietal, and occipital lobes. There are two reported branches of Alien Hand Syndrome: Frontal and Callosal. Both Frontal and Callosal AHS usually occur in the non-dominant hand of the afflicted. Because Frontal AHS affects the Frontal Lobe, it is characterized by grasping and groping. Frontal AHS usually is a result of stroke. Callosal AHS, which affects the Parietal and Occipital Lobes of the afflicted, usually does not grasp or…

radical surgery that will change the history of psychology forever, that surgery would be called a Lobotomy. A Lobotomy would consist of scraping away most of the connections to and from the prefrontal of the brain, and the anterior part of the frontal lobes of the brain. This procedure would leave the patient in a vegetable state where they would forever stay. Soon,…

involved in emotions, motivation, memory, and learning. However, as I eat pizza, socialize, and play cards, I am primarily using the hippocampus and hypothalamus parts of my brain. To begin with, the hippocampus is located within the medial temporal lobe on each side of the brain. The hippocampus plays a role in our learning memory, and ability to compare sensory information to expectations. For example, as I am socializing, I am listening to my friends conversations and the information I…
